Illustration is an act of perception and projection. In my work, I compose considerate renderings of childhood folk tales, household objects, and large-scale portraits depicting complex experiences in the domestic space. Two-dimensional prints and artist books are souvenirs from my compulsive worldmaking, a way of reclaiming agency and safety in the home. Using Stone Lithography, I draw my own heirlooms, memories, and stories to develop a personal mythology. The range of tones and textures achievable in Stone Lithography are unparalleled by any other medium. The printmaker must have an acute technical and chemical understanding of Lithography to preserve the delicate matrix. My unique lexicon of marks in this medium convey emotion through dark, frantic scratches, meticulous hatching, and varied line quality and weight. As I illustrate these stories, I establish a relationship and history with the stones I use. Over time, they hold an archive of images and help bear the weight these memories carry.
